Hello Kid,yes she is/was a cracker.Thats not why I am commenting.I was in town today and as I was walking past a shop a pair of hands placed a SUPERCAR and what I am guessing is Thunderbird rocket diecast models on stands which seem authentic,I took a couple of quick snaps as I thought you may be interested.If you post your e-mail here I could send them to you.I dont think anyone else will be posting here and once I send the photos you can delete your info.

the shop was http://treasurebunker.com/ but there is nothing on the site.

Thanks, Baab, but mental as it sounds, there's a nut-job who scrutinises all my posts and their responses; he's always sending me wind-up comments (which I don't usually publish) and if he saw my email, who knows what nonsense he might get up to with it. You send me your email address, which I won't publish, and I'll get in touch. I'd guess I've got the Supercar one; if so, it's by Product Enterprise.

Not to worry, Baab, I gave them a 'phone - it's the Product Enterprise Supercar and Fireball Xl5, at £55 each. Got two of each of them already. Thanks for letting me know 'though. They've got other Gerry Anderson stuff as well, if you're interested yourself.

No problem,Kid.I had a wee look online and it is the Product Enterprises model,the other is the Fireball xl5 from the same company.They were both priced at £55.I see they retail for about £39.99,if you can get them.

When I bought my first ones (when they first came out), I think I paid around £30/£35 each for them. It wasn't that long before I picked up some spare ones from A1 Books & Comics for £19.99 each. Someone I know got the Stingray one from TK Maxx for a tenner.

About the artist:

From 1985 to 2000 A.D. (little joke there), I contributed to a variety of high profile comics and magazines for various companies.

For IPC/FLEETWAY/EGMONT, I freelanced as a lettering and logo artiston various weekly comics and monthly magazines, and also as a resize comic artistandspot illustratoron pocket books, summer specials and annuals.

ForMARVEL U.K., BLACK LIBRARY, REDAN and USBORNE BOOKS, I again freelanced as a lettering artist, also working as arestoration artistfor MARVEL U.S., restoring and re-creating certain pages of JACK KIRBY art for their MARVEL MASTERWORKS editions.

I also lettered the MARVELMAN sample pages submitted to MARVEL U.S. when they were considering acquiring the character, which - as we all now know - they DID.

Supplied comic strips, cartoons and illustrated advertisements for local business campaigns and newspaper publication on a professional basis since the age of 16. Did my first paid art job for publication at 14 or 15 for Lanarkshire Education Board.
